Who told you that? To be honest, those reviews don't seem like they are written by him. He's got a vocational school background, so I'm sure he is not a poet.Quote:

Apparently it a big part of his sense of humour, but people often dont get it. But it is not necessarily in the sense of being poetic or anything, if you understand what I mean.Quote:

I think Kimi liking cars from the 60's - he bought a classic American sportscar [don't remember the name] from acress Sharon Staone at a charity auction for a few hundred thousand as I recall, and not liking places like Yas Marina but preferring the old real racing tracks says a lot about him.
In line with that he is the master of Spa and of course won this year!! Kimi is a driver that would have loved past era's. Probably would have been great pals with the likes of Steve Mcqueen, Paul Newman, AJ Foyt, Villeneuve and Mario Andretti!
I know now why I have always like Kimi and indeed it will be a big loss for f1 if he is not on the grid in 2010.
Really? Do you know something or are only speaking b***s*** ?Quote:

What do you mean, I dont understand what exactly you are implying here? I said Kimi writes his Finnish column himself, do you agree with that or do you disagree with that statement?Quote:

Still no news for Kimi?
Ongoing negotiations I hear.
Given the ridiculous testing ban and petulance from teams, no driver may drive until the new year.Quote:

Essentially teams have to decide what exactly they seek from their drivers too.
Question: is Kimi a worthwhile hire?
Prima donnas in all their manifestations are not welcome in f1 and this term is now coming to mind where Kimi is concerned.
I consider Mclaren to have dropped the ball by not quickly reaching for Nico Hulkenberg. His racing pedigree is every bit equal to that of Hamiltons'. Instead he has been banished to a lower order team alongside an f1 geriatric.
I admit that I have been less than correct about Nick Heidfeld and he has demonstrated this past season that he can deliver and his teammate was Kubica. He does not destroy cars and his experience is valuable - remember his rain tyre decision.
There are more drivers than cars - advantage constructors. There is also no guarantee which Kimi will arrive at Mclaren. Again - it depends what Mclaren are seeking from their other driver.
But given the apparent negotiation impasse - the Woking team should play hardball and declare sign as we want or I say - sign Heidfeld.
They would definitely do no worse than Kovaleinen and the reaction from Heidfeld may be so powerful we will all be surprised.
It is neccessary to stamp out the rising tide of prima donnas and Mclaren have experienced this - they must be looking on with great amusement and no regret the Alonso-Ferrari tie-up.
The driver market impasse isn't due to whether Kimi wants to go to McLaren, rather what Mercedes intends to do with BrawnGP. If Merc takes a stake they'll have Rosberg at Brackley, if the deal falls through then perhaps not. Until Haug signs on the dotted line McLaren and Brawn won't be able to fill their second seats and Kimi won't know if he's in at McLaren. I don't know what the holdup with Button is though.
OK! I'll bite! So what's your excuse? :DQuote:
